P.I.E. Paragraph Structure
One way to think about structuring your paragraphs is to use the P.I.E. paragraph structure. Make sure each of your body paragraphs have the following parts:
* P = Point
* I = Information
* E = Explanation
Point
Make sure your paragraph has a point. Often, the point is the topic sentence.
* What is the point of this paragraph?
* What claim is being made?
* What will this paragraph prove or discuss?
Information
After establishing your point, state the relevant information about your topic. The information is the evidence used to support or develop the point.
* How is the point supported with specific data, experiences, or other factual material?
* What examples can you use to support your point?
Here are some ideas on the kinds of information you can include:
* Facts, details, reasons, examples
* Information from the readings or class discussions
* Paraphrases or short quotations
* Statistics, polls, percentages, data from research studies
* Personal experience or stories from your life or others
Explanation
The explanation is the writer’s analysis, elaboration, evaluation, or interpretation of the point and information given, connecting the information with the point (topic sentence) and the thesis.
* What does the provided information mean?
* How does it relate to your overall argument?
* Why is this information important/significant/meaningful?
